A mother's boundless pampering unleashes her son's calculated malice, dismantling their family from within.
From birth, Lia Lowe treats Ben Clark as the gravity holding her world together, refusing him the word no. Without boundaries, childhood mischief hardens into deliberate cruelty: he rams pedestrians, topples bicycles, shames acquaintances, demolishes the kitchen, and totals an irreplaceable limited-edition supercar. Each outrage draws only excuses, never correction. The bill arrives when consequences finally crash through the door — Ben's father watches his career derail under the fallout, while Lia exchanges her freedom for a prison cell, the ultimate cost of a love that refused to set limits.
